OK so here's how it is clod. There aren't any bad parents on the cellar that I've noticed. And there are many good parents here, that I've noticed. I like to include myself in this group even though I know for sure that half of the stuff that happens in our day-to-day existance would win "suprisingly-different parenting" awards at best.

but you really have gone above and beyond for your kid. there are many autism-scale kids in our school and their parents are mostly not involved beyond saying "yup, whatever you recommend" And this is a school that attracts proactive parents. I dread to think what happens in the other schools in the district.

...anyway, we know you're not posting here to receive accolade, but it's impossible to read your progress and not say anything. It is wonderful, you are wonderful, and don't worry, karma will come back and bite you in the ass at some point. I bet your dress will be tucked into your knickers at minifobette's wedding and no-one will notice until the pictures are developped.....

Monster nailed it. There may be, "Lots of parents have to go above and beyond to care for their kids", but how many are there that are doing it by becoming the pharmacy's best customer? In fairness, because they may have been mislead, and probably because they haven't done the work involved to know better, rather than taking the easy way out.

That she marches on against the pressure is what I admire. There are no experts in the field and more than a little cash grabbing going on. She is rolling the boulder to the top of the hill on her own and one day it'll stay put.
